The Undertaker,s Midnight VisitOr.0
From the Globe Democrat.
At IL 80 O'Clock last night Mr.. Eberle, under
taker, rOOming up stairs over the store, was
awakened by the jangling OF his door bell in q
manner which seemed to indicate that there was
some one working the knob in great mental dis
tress. He got up, went down stairs, ana met a
farmer looking fellow in jean clothes and scull
soap, who was In almost perfect parOXySm of
grief on the death OF his father, and who wanted
TO see some shrouds and collins. Mr.. Eberle went
into the store and exhibited shrouds c0ffins and
other cheerful articles to the visitor who declared
he wanted to do the best he could for the old man
for the he old man had been good old man to him
silent tomb in good style. He wanted the largest
possible crosses on the CONN., and he wanted other
little things which he thought would cOnduce to
his parents post-mortem comfort within the pOr-
tails OF the grave.
After rather exhaustive review Of the cof1ns
him, and when he asked how much it all would
come to, Mr.. Eberle replied, his eyes suffusing
with tears shad would require forty cold dollars
that nothing could assuage the customers grief,
and the customer said he was right. Then the
and a great big cross to Centrev1lle Ill, in the
morning, and TO be sure TO take Father HallOran
OF east st. Louis along with him. The old man
was to be buried on the larm for in their lives they
had been together and in his death they would
not be divided any more than he could help. Then
he handed to Mr.. Eberle a check for seventy -five
dollars, made out by John Garvey and payable to
the order OF James McGrath at the fourth National
bank.
Mr.. Eberle teok the check and gazed at it with
misty eyes, and then his mind began to grow
misty, for the bereaved son intimated that he
would like to have about seven dollars to pay his
incidental expenses, and would pay it In the
morning when the check could be cashed. Mr..
Eberle stated that ne didn't have the seven dollars
back yesterday morning, and the chances are that
that poor old father Is still unburied, and that
means OF raising that seven dollars.
